Delay: "We should investigate every avenue before we take the life..
of a living human being"

So what about the war Tom? Did you investigate every single option before you sent to death thousands of American soldiers & Iraqi citizens?

What about the Death Penalty Tom? Why aren't you doing something about that? I mean, we know there are many who sit on death row that haven't even committed the crime and that there are other options other than death. Have you investigated those yet?

What about your prescription & health care plan Tom? Have you followed all of those routes? I mean, there are children living in this country that can't even get the basic health-care needed in order to survive? Have you considered investigating all options before creating a prescription plan that would make US Citizens forced to choose between food or the drugs they need?

And Social Security - I pray to God that you're doing a thorough investigation on the Bush plan that would plummet our seniors into a financial crisis thus negating any chance of living out their senior years with a decent quality of life.

Tom, maybe you should stop worry about Terry Schavo and instead worry about all the other lives you've wasted in order to strengthen your political power in DC.

1. Tom, have you considered the QUALITY OF LIFE?
You know, what's being taken away from average citizens, but a quality you enhance for yourself, your co-workers, and your corporate buddies?

2. Did you hear what he said to close the debate last night?
He said "the weekend of Terri's passion was here" and "now it's time to vote."

So now, he's comparing this poor woman's suffering to the passion of christ. Note: he thinks the suffering is the withdrawal of life support not the 15 years of suffering she and her husband have endured.

On NPR this morning , there was a report about the Republican memo that said that passing this law would help turn out their base. Then the report said that Delay and Frist said they had no knowledge of the memo.

We are so doomed. I am truly horrified at what I saw happen last night.

6. I was also horrified...
Edited on Mon Mar-21-05 08:56 AM by berner59
and the war argument is SO valid...this congress condemned these poor soldiers to possible death without a debate...it's disgusting...

I now want to see family upon family lining up at the White House for help in similar feeding tube situations.

What happens if the judge rules against the congress??

8. We aren't taking her life, God is, all we are doing is prolonging it.
Let God's Will be done or is that not something a right-wing fundie would contemplate?
